Evan Sawyer saw that Mitchell, who had always been serious, was emotional, and shook his head with a smile next to him. Unlike Carl Pat, Evan Sawyer has his own ideas. Evan Sawyer is not content to be George's assistant coach and must fly solo in the future.

Evan Sawyer came to Burnley simply because he was too young to be taken seriously at other clubs. That's why I chose to follow George to Burnley.

Evan has been learning from George as a head coach for a while. Today, this time I learned another trick, and I sighed in my heart. They are also young people, but George is far better than he is.

'Blackburn have been in the Premier League's relegation zone lately and will face their biggest opponents in the relegation zone in three days' time. But you look at the fact that they sent all the main forces, what does this indicate? It shows that Hodgson has no confidence in his heart, so he will send all the main forces. "George said it very nicely. The players all nodded, thinking that George was too right. Blackburn, as a Premier League team, is still in the important stage of relegation, but it sent the main team, which is obviously a sign of weakness.

But Evan and Karl next to him almost burst out laughing, and Burnley is not the same as the main force. This kind of derby, which side does not attach great importance to it. But from George's mouth, it was as if only Hodgson valued the game.

But at this time, no one in the players thought of this, they were all very excited.

"Players from both sides started playing. Burnley's top scorer Robbie Keane was absent for the game, with midfielder Matthew Holland appearing in place of Robbie Keane. and right-back Finnan also did not play, but Grant, who had been absent for a long time, came on. It seems that George is ready to defend solidly, and George's Burnley started defensively. Motersen looked at Burnley's line-up and was a little puzzled by Robbie Keane's absence from the starting line-up.

"yes, I think Robbie Keane is far better than Klose. Robbie Keane has scored eight goals for Burnley and is currently Burnley's top scorer. Klose, on the other hand, has scored just two goals in 14 appearances for Burnley. I don't understand why George chose Klose over Robbie Keane. Alan Hansen was also very surprised.

'Have you ever met some Burnley fans, they're very interesting?

"Oh, what do Burnley fans say?"

'I've met a couple of Burnley fans because of work and they say Klose is George's illegitimate son. Hehehe. ”

"What is the reason for this?"

'They say George's buying eye is absolutely top-notch, and he hasn't looked away since George became Burnley manager. Only this Klose does not deserve so much attention from George in the eyes of Burnley fans, but among Burnley's current four strikers, Klose is the most valued by George. So many Burnley fans privately joked that Klose was George's illegitimate son. ”

"Hahahaha, this figurative image. Klose has been on the pitch so many times and has only scored two goals. There are some problems with efficiency, but I think George has a lot of trust in Klose. For such an important game, Klose would have preferred to start rather than Robbie Keane. ”

The players on the field lined up to shake hands in turn, and at this time George walked out slowly.

Then he walked over to Blackburn's dugout and shook hands with their coach. In fact, this should be what Hodgson, the head coach of the home team, should do, but unfortunately George stayed in the dressing room for a long time before coming out, leaving Hodgson impatient to wait outside.

Hodgson didn't like George very much, he was arrogant and arrogant, so he shook George's hand with a cold face and didn't say a word.

But when shaking hands with Hodgson, George had a friendly smile on his face. "Coach Hodgson, I'm really confused. Don't you want to play Bolton Wanderers in three days' time? I think this is an important battle related to whether you can be relegated, right? ”

Looking at George's smiling face, Hodgson couldn't help but go up and punch a few times. However, the good self-cultivation still made Hodgson hold back. "Coach Levy, we don't need to care much about our club. No matter how you say that we are a Premier League team, you still care about whether your team can be promoted. ”

"yes, promotion is our goal this season. But I think once we beat Blackburn, then we can have a good mood and we can have a lot of morale. This will definitely help the team to be promoted. ”

Hodgson was not the sharp-tongued coach who couldn't compare to Ferguson and later Mourinho in terms of eloquence, so he didn't continue to speak, but turned around and went back to his dugout.

George didn't have a smile on his face from the moment he started shaking hands with Hodgson. After letting go of his hand, George also turned away from the place and returned to his place.

The moment George and Hodgson shook hands, the broadcast camera followed the two of them all the time. Morteson smiled and said, "Looking at George's smile and Hodgson's cold face, it can be imagined that George must have said something that made Hodgson angry." What an interesting scene. ”

"Playing tricks, Hodgson is definitely not as good as George." Alan Hansen also interjected.

"After Burnley is promoted to the Premier League, maybe the target of George's war of words will become Ferguson. That's interesting. ”

"Mortenson, I expect you to say that, too."

The two commentators talked a lot today, and they laughed very happily.

…………

The game was at a high tempo from the start, and there was not a single reservation between the two sides. Hodgson wants to use this derby win to sweep Blackburn Rovers away. George, on the other hand, is already aiming for the Carabao Cup, so he has to beat Blackburn.

George put five men in the middle of the game, using Matthew Holland and Neil Lennon as defensive midfielders to protect Ballack. Then unleash Ballack's offensive prowess with all his might.

With George's transformation of Burnley over the years, Burnley's midfield strength has changed from what it used to be. The last time he won against Blackburn, George actually played a real rogue. After showing weakness to the enemy, he defended with all his might, and when Blackburn was relaxed, he was able to defeat Blackburn with a counterattack.

But this time was different, George had to use his real strength to win the game. That's why George had to control the midfield.

In the battle for midfield, Burnley clearly had the upper hand. Sherwood, who used to call for rain in the Premier League, is now completely inferior in the competition with Ballack.

But Blackburn have one person who frequently attacks Burnley's defence, and that is Blackburn's new star Damien Anthony Duff. Duff, who is only eighteen years old, has already shown very strong strength.

"Duff, he's fast, he brushes past Grant in a split second, crosses...... Unfortunately, Sutton couldn't get the ball. I'm sure all Blackburn Rovers fans will miss Shearer at this time, and if Shearer is in ......"

At the time of the commentary, Burnley's side also carried out a fast attack.

'Burnley counter-attacked quickly...... Ballack got the ball and ...... on the left Ljungberg, Endocut...... Berg couldn't keep an eye on Ljungberg and shot ...... Hit Hendry in the leg. It's a corner! ”

In a typical corner, the two full-backs and the midfielders will stay behind. But Burnley's Daniel was tall, fit and bouncing, so he also squeezed into the Blackburn penalty area.

'The corner kick was taken by Camoranesi...... Klose is very smart and has a ...... Daniel, oops. Daniel and Berg collided with each other, and it seemed that neither of them had anything to do with it, and both stood up. No, Daniel......"

In order to earn the ball from Klose to the back, Daniel started to sprint from near the penalty area. And Berg also jumped in order to relieve the circumference, and it happened to be on Daniel's face.

Both of them quickly stood up, but Daniel's face could be clearly seen covered in blood. And as he fell, Daniel's leg was slashed by Berg's heel. So there was also direct blood on his legs, but it seemed that Daniel didn't feel it himself, just hugged his head in annoyance, and then turned around and left the Blackburn Rovers penalty area.

It wasn't until Balacla caught Daniel that Daniel realized that he was bleeding from his face.

"How?" George nervously walked up to the team doctor.

"Look if there is any ghosting." Instead of answering George immediately, the team doctor stuck out his finger and asked Daniel. Daniel shook his head, and the team doctor nodded. "The eyebrow bone is injured, and it should be no problem to bandage it. The leg injury is also not significant. ”

Daniel quickly bandaged up and asked the referee for entry.

"Less than ten minutes into the game, Daniel was injured. But looking at his appearance, he didn't know that he was injured. Mortenson sighed when he saw that Daniel didn't notice his injuries at first.

'Yes, Daniel is an English player. Alan Hansen, as a traditional England player, admires Daniel's appearance.

'In the few games that Mitchell has missed, Daniel has been wearing the Burnley captain's armband. It seems that Burnley has found the banner of their future. ”
